1972 Triumph TR6 Convertible Coupe Vehicle Profile

Convertible Coupe

The TR6 was introduced in January, 1969, using similar chassis and running gear components to those used in the TR5/TR250. However, the body work, while retaining some elements of the TR5/TR250 design, was externally restyled by Karmann. Apart from smoothing the lines of the car, the design changes also gave the car more boot space. A front anti-roll bar now formed part of the specification and wider wheels were also fitted making the car look low, lean and very fast - which, of course, it was, courtesy of the TR5/TR250 smooth 6-cylinder inline 2498cc engine.

The TR6 came to the end of its production in July 1976 (February, 1975 for the UK-market models). In all, 94,619 TRs were built, of which 86,249 found homes overseas, only 8,370 being sold in the United Kingdom.

The car retained the appeal of traditional British sports models but had the additional, exciting element of being faster and more furious than many would-be rivals. This combination of tradition and power helps to explain its popularity today.

The TR6 is an attractive, fast and very enjoyable two-seater. Its fine performance, good road holding and relative reliability, plus its sheer character, make it a car which is a joy to be driven.

This TR6 was fully restored in 2006 and is a 'well sorted' example finished in its original factory Emerald Green.
